Kelly Departs

Fulham defender Stephen Kelly has joined Reading for an undisclosed fee, the Club confirmed on Friday evening.

The full-back joins the Royals after three-and-a-half years in SW6, during which time he made more than 60 appearances in all competitions.

The Republic of Ireland international, who moved to the Club from Birmingham City, was a key figure in Fulham’s 2009/10 UEFA Europa League campaign – famously setting up Zoltan Gera for our crucial winning goal in Basel – and also enjoyed a memorable 2011/12 season on the banks of the Thames.

The Club would like to thank Stephen for his contribution and wishes him well for the future.
